She is competent and respectful. She is a pretty good trial judge. I did not agree with all of her rulings, but she got most of them right, even the ones that went against my client.
I have to agree with the other comments that her clerk is incompetent.

Horrible. Saw her verbally lash out at an attorney for no good reason at all in the motion call. She doesn't know the law, she's rude and uncouth, and her judicial temperament is horrible. But, she's always on time.

This judge is jaded, bitter, and irrationally lashes out at attorneys. She cannot control the calendar call or her motion calendar. She makes completely improper comments in open court. Her clerk is incompetent to make it through a calendar call (marked a motion "withdrawn" when it was "adjourned," and failed to notify the judge of adjournment dates, causing several other motions to be marked off).

I am a former assistant state AG and have won First Amendment Civil Rights trials. What this Judge did in Kings County family Court is incredible, and she did it based religion and sexual orientation, reverse discrimination against a heterosexual mother in favor of a father who was ORDERED to pay child support and who the court-appointed forensic physician found to be "intrinsically violent." The forensic recommended custody stay with the mother, now she lost custody for no reason and has to pay the father, whose mother is also a lesbian activist. Silber was a chair at LAMDA.

I have NOTHING against GLBT and have gay and lesbian friends and have represented gays in Court. But if any of them practiced reverse discrimination they would no longer be my friend. She does not deserve to be on the bench because of this ruling alone, not to mention the curious case of Ms. Uccio, linked below.

This judge cost me 1 year of my physical health and cost me over 25,000 in legal fees. Each court date was adjourned due to the fact she could not control the courtroom. She also over rode orders from Judge Rothenberg, without good reason or have any documentation to prove her decision for reversal.
